Recipe

The examples above were generated with Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5. The recipes below are written for GPT Image and Flux, so treat the settings as a starting point rather than the exact run.

A description in plain sentences. This is the version to start with, and it works on any current image model. Settings below are the ones we used on GPT Image; treat them as a starting point.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

Anime background art of an ordinary Japanese residential back street with no people in it at all: a small shopfront, a vending machine, overhead power cables crossing the sky, a low blossoming tree and a narrow pavement. Clean even line, flat colour with a single soft shadow pass, bright flat midday light rather than golden hour. Still and quietly lonely. No readable lettering on any sign.

The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images
